Introduction to Hericium erinaceus Extract
Hericium erinaceus Extract is derived from Hericium erinaceus, a type of large fungus commonly known as "monkey head mushroom" or "hedgehog mushroom" in Chinese. It is a concentrated form of active ingredients obtained through modern extraction techniques (such as solvent extraction, water extraction and alcohol precipitation) from the fruiting bodies or mycelia of Hericium erinaceus. Its core value lies in retaining the unique bioactive substances of Hericium erinaceus, with the content of active ingredients much higher than that of directly consumed raw Hericium erinaceus, making it more convenient for application in the food, health product and pharmaceutical fields.
